🚂✨ Traveling is more than just seeing new places; it's a journey of the soul, a breath of fresh air for the spirit. This week, as I embarked on a scenic adventure through Scotland, England, and Wales, I was reminded once again of the transformative power of travel. Boarding trains winding through lush green hills, each curve revealing a new panorama of fluffy white sheep dotting the landscape, and distant blue oceans beckoning with their endless horizon. Road tripping through the rugged beauty of Wales, where ancient brown castles stand as silent witnesses to centuries of history and legend. In the midst of this kaleidoscope of colors and stories, I found solace and renewal. The crisp, fresh air filling my lungs with each inhale, clearing away the cobwebs of daily life. The rich tapestry of history woven into every stone, sparking my curiosity and igniting my imagination. Perhaps most importantly, this journey was a sanctuary for my soul, a respite from the chaos of the world. It was a chance to reset my nervous system, to find balance in the midst of uncertainty. It was an opportunity to cultivate wellbeing, to nourish my body, mind, and spirit. As a podcaster, leadership development strategist, survivor advocate, world traveler, polyglot, and expat, I've learned that travel is not just a luxury—it's a necessity. It's a chance to gain perspective, to broaden our horizons, and to heal. So here's to embracing the beauty of the world, one adventure at a time. Let's breathe, let's explore, let's flourish. 🌍💫 Where is your next trip?

🌟 Reflecting on an incredible day at the Conference for Women! 🌟 From hearing the wisdom of Jacinda Ardern, to being inspired by Viola Davis’s powerful words, and connecting with amazing women like Kristen Kish and Jennifer Siegel Newsom, today was truly unforgettable. Key takeaway: Leaders should embody the character traits we teach our children – kindness, humility, and empathy. Jacinda Ardern’s words resonated deeply and serve as a guiding light in leadership. Viola Davis’s message hit home: “You have to die to yourself to become a leader.” It’s a reminder that true leadership often requires sacrifice and selflessness. Shoutout to my fantastic colleagues from Hyve Solutions, led by our incredible COO Gina Rugani, for championing each other and attending the conference together. Your support means everything. While we missed Brene Brown, the lineup was still stellar, and I’m grateful for the inspiration and insights shared. As I prepare to fly to Taiwan for a leadership summit, I carry with me the conversations, quotes, and empowerment from today. Thank you, California Conference for Women, for a day of invaluable leadership development. 💼✨ @californiacfw @jacindaardern @violadavis @brenebrown @jennifersiebelnewsom @kristenlkish @mbctopchef @santaclaraconventioncenter @hyvesolutions #CalWomen #CCW2024 #WomenEmpowerment #LeadershipDevelopment

As we step into Women’s History Month, it’s crucial not only to celebrate the monumental achievements of #women but also to address a pervasive issue that has long shadowed their contributions: the erasure and appropriation of women's work by men. Throughout history, women have been the backbone of innovations, movements, and transformative ideas, yet their contributions have often been overshadowed, undervalued, or outright stolen. This month, let’s make a collective commitment to recognize and honor the work of women in all its forms. It’s time to shed light on the stories of women who have been hidden from the annals of history, to celebrate the achievements of women in science, arts, politics, and every field in between, whose efforts have often been minimized or attributed to their male counterparts. Women's voices are the harbingers of change, embodying resilience and power. When women speak, they can sow the seeds of a future that values inclusivity and diversity. Women's decisions shape societies, driving them towards equality and justice. The perspectives of women bring unique insights and solutions to the world's most pressing problems, ensuring a well-rounded approach to any challenge. Acknowledging the importance of women's consent is fundamental in fostering a culture of respect and dignity. It’s a testament to the agency and autonomy of women over their lives and bodies. Women’s bodies are not battlegrounds for political, cultural, or social disputes but temples of individuality and strength. This Women’s History Month, let’s affirm loudly: Women matter. Their contributions are invaluable, their voices essential, their decisions powerful, their perspectives revolutionary, their consent non-negotiable, and their bodies deserving of autonomy and respect. Let us all commit to recognizing, celebrating, and amplifying women's work, voices, and rights. Let’s challenge the norms, question the status quo, and make space for women to lead, innovate, and inspire. It’s time for the world to not only recognize but also to act on the truth that women have always been, and will always be, integral to our collective progress and humanity. #WomensHistoryMonth

We are dust. Stardust. #AshWednesday

In the middle of my 1:1 virtual call with my boss this morning @jasonadamsbrown walked in with a dozen red roses and a heart box of chocolates. We went for brunch at one of our favorite brunch places. I lavished my kids with chocolates and Valentine cards for them to wake up to, as I do every Valentine’s Day. My boss sent my kids cupcakes from her favorite NYC bakery again this year. ❤️ I believe in lavishing my loved ones with love, and even though this day is commercialized, I still love to let my family know how much I cherish them on this day. I am also showing myself some love today. In this world, we need more of us to know how beloved we are. If no one tells you today, hear this from me. You are loved. 🫶🏼

Go, #Niners Whom are you cheering for? @49ers @chiefs @taylorswift #superbowl #sanfrancisco49ers #kansascitychiefs

Happy Birthday to @jasonadamsbrown, my one-and-only. Each year you continue to grow and learn and improve yourself in ways that help me grow and our family grow too. Some men settle in, get comfortable and coast. That is not you. You give us vision for what can be, and you help us get there in your hands on way. Thank you for never settling, always learning, and forever believing as you point us all toward hope. You are my home. Happy Birthday, Jason Adams-Brown.

Taking a work trip always has an element of excitement and anticipation, but my recent work trip to Cincinnati to conduct a leadership summit with Hyve Solutions was nothing short of inspirational. As a fast-moving tech company, we at Hyve Solutions understand the critical importance of effective leadership and communication in navigating the complexities of the tech industry. Aa a certified professional facilitator with the Center for Creative Leadership, I've had the privilege of working with leaders from various parts of the globe. Each experience is unique, but the core challenge remains the same: fostering an environment where communication thrives. This summit was an opportunity to dive deep into what it means to listen—not just to hear, but to truly understand. It's a skill that demands intentionality and hard work, especially in a sector where the pace never slows and the stakes are always high. Throughout the summit, I led our leaders to explore the nuances of communication, focusing on how to cultivate an environment where team members feel heard and valued. The transformation in participants was palpable. Witnessing managers evolve into leaders who prioritize empathy and understanding over directives was both professionally and personally fulfilling. It's a testament to the power of listening as the foundation of effective leadership. The summit wasn't just about the sessions, though. It was about the connections made and the shared commitment to growth. As leaders, the willingness to learn and adapt is what sets us apart. In Cincinnati, I saw firsthand the impact of investing in these skills. It’s not just about navigating the complexities of the tech world, but setting a standard for what it means to lead with intention and integrity. As I reflect on the week, I'm reminded that the work of developing leaders is never done. Each interaction, each session, each moment of understanding brings us closer to the kind of leadership that changes companies—and, ultimately, the world. I'm grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this journey and excited to see where these new skills take these leaders. Here's to the hard work of listening and leading.

🌍✈️ “The World is a Book, and Those Who Do Not Travel Read Only One Page” - Saint Augustine 📖✨ Hey, wanderlust family! 🌟 Today, I want to share something that’s been on my mind: There’s truly no education quite like travel. 🚀📚 As we pack our bags and step out of our comfort zones, we’re not just tourists; we become students of the world. 🌏 Each journey is a unique chapter in our life’s textbook, filled with lessons no classroom can offer. 🏞️🏙️ Did you know research backs this up? Studies show that traveling significantly broadens our perspectives. 📈 It opens our minds, allowing us to absorb new experiences, cultures, and ways of life. 🌈👥 Every alleyway in a foreign city, every local dish, every conversation with someone whose life story is vastly different from ours, is an opportunity to learn. 🍲🗣️ It’s in these moments we discover not just about the world, but about ourselves. 🌟 Travel teaches us adaptability, empathy, and open-mindedness. 🧭♥️ We learn new languages, not just in words, but in gestures, smiles, and the universal language of kindness. 🤝🌐 It’s not just about seeing new places; it’s about experiencing them. 🌅🌃 From the busy streets of bustling cities to the serene quiet of rural landscapes, every experience shapes us, teaches us new ways of living, and gives us stories that we carry forever. 📖💼 So, here’s to more passports filled with stamps, hearts full of memories, and minds brimming with knowledge. 🛫❤️🧠 Let’s keep learning, not just through books, but through the irreplaceable education of travel. 🏔️🏝️ To all the adventurers, culture seekers, and lifelong learners - keep exploring, keep discovering, and keep growing. The world is vast, and its lessons are endless. 🌌🎒 Even just getting out of town to a cozy cabin in Tahoe watching the snow fall outside the window like I did last weekend with my family and friends can open up our minds and inspire us to learn. Share your most enlightening travel experience or a dream destination you believe would teach you something new! ✨🌏 #TravelToLearn #WorldAsAClassroom #ExploreAndDiscover #JourneyOfLearning #WanderlustEducation 🚢🗺️✨

Imagine this: Last weekend, nestled in the heart of Lake Tahoe, I found myself in a scene straight out of a winter postcard. As I gazed out the window of our cozy cabin, I watched in awe as delicate snowflakes danced their way to the ground, blanketing the world in pristine white. There’s something magical about sitting by a warm fireplace, a steaming cup of coffee in hand, while the world outside transforms. The crackling fire provided a symphony of comfort as I curled up in a snug blanket, lost in the tranquility of the moment. The real enchantment, though, was stepping outside onto the deck. The air, crisp and invigorating, filled my lungs as I took in the majestic view of tall pine trees standing as silent guardians of the landscape. Their branches, adorned with snow-laden leaves, created a breathtaking contrast against the untouched blanket of white snow below. This was more than a getaway; it was a moment of serenity amidst the chaos of life, a reminder of nature’s effortless beauty. In the mountains of Lake Tahoe, surrounded by the whispering pines and the gentle snowfall, I found a piece of cozy comfort and calm. Where is your favorite cozy cabin located? #LakeTahoeMagic #WinterWonderland #CabinLife 🌲❄️🔥☕

✈️🌏 As I wander through narrow alleys in distant lands, gaze at skies painted with unfamiliar stars, and meet souls from walks of life so different yet so similar to mine, I'm reminded of the profound truth in Karen Stein's words. Travel does more than just transport us to new locations; it transports us to new ways of thinking. Stein says, “Travel can create a flexibility, both mental flexibility and flexibility of social structures, that allows us to see things in a different way, have different experiences or do things a little bit differently.” It’s so true. Every journey I embark on reshapes my perspective, like a kaleidoscope turning to reveal a new pattern of understanding. It's not just about seeing new places; it's about seeing old things in new ways. Each culture I encounter, every landscape I admire, and all the people I meet along the way – they all contribute to this beautiful, intricate mosaic of perspectives that color my view of the world. 🌍 Travel teaches me adaptability, open-mindedness, and the courage to embrace the unknown. It's in the bustling streets of a foreign city, the serene silence of a mountain top, or the warm smile of a stranger, that I find the greatest lessons. Travel is my teacher, the world my classroom, and each experience a lesson in seeing, understanding, and living life a little differently. 🌍❤️🌟 #TravelTransforms #WorldPerspectives #JourneyOfDiscovery #Travel

🚂💭 As the European countryside blurred past my train window in September, I was reminded of Danny Kaye's words, 'To travel is to take a journey into yourself.' Solo travel is more than just moving from one place to another; it's an inward journey, a voyage to the depths of your own soul. In the quiet moments of transit, I always find myself reflecting, growing, and embracing the art of solitude. Each destination is a new chapter of self-discovery, each mile a step closer to understanding who I am and what I seek from this vast, beautiful world. 🌍 It's in my occasional solitary travels for work trips or birthday trips that I find peace, indulging in self-care, practicing mindfulness, and nurturing my well-being. Amidst the rhythmic clatter of the train, I learn the importance of slowing down, of savoring the moment, and of truly being present in my own journey. Solo travel isn't just an adventure; it's a necessary dialogue with oneself, a chance to listen to the whispers of your heart against the backdrop of the world's magnificent canvas. 🌍❤️ Any other #Solotravel travelers out there? What do you love about traveling solo? #SoloTravelJourney #MindfulnessOnTheMove #EuropeanDiaries #Trip

🌟 Standing here, in November, under the outstretched arms of Cristo Redentor, I was reminded of the boundless beauty and wonder our world holds. From the vibrant heart of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil stretching out beneath me, to the serene gaze of this iconic statue — every moment is a testament to the wild and beautiful tapestry of life. I often say to myself and to others, “Live this one wild and beautiful life with curiosity.” Here's to embracing every adventure, exploring with an open heart, and living curiously in each moment. This is more than travel; it's a journey through the wonder that is life. 🇧🇷✨ #RioAdventures #CristoRedentor #LiveCuriously #LorisTravelTips

🌍✈️ There’s something about an airplane ride to another country, above the clouds where the world unfurls beneath me like the pages of an endless story. Even if my flight is to a country I’ve visited before, I get excited about the historical sites I’ll visit, the stories I’ll hear, the people I’ll meet, and the food I’ll eat. As Augustine of Hippo once said, 'The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.' Each flight, each new horizon, is a page turned, a new chapter of discoveries and lessons. So, here's to turning more pages, to exploring the unexplored, and to the stories waiting to be read. Let's never stop reading this vast, beautiful book of our world. 📖💫 Travel is an education all unto itself. To travel is to learn. #Wanderlust #TravelStories #LorisTravelTips #Educationaltravel

Celebrating today that marks 20 years since Nico was born into this world in Chiang Mai, Thailand. His intelligence and curiosity have led to so many deep conversations over the years. His curiosity has led to 20 years of immense amounts of knowledge acquired, and 20 years of so much delight for me to watch him learn and grow into the man he is today. Seeing him find his passion in studying to become an aerospace engineer is so consistent with the little toddler that explored everything, learned so quickly, and was a little engineer all along. 🚀 His quick wit, sense of humor and laughter have brought so many smiles to my face over 20 years. What a privilege it is to be his mom. I could not be more proud of Nico, and am thrilled we got to celebrate his 20th birthday as a family. We love him so much!
